Protective helmet testing device, comprises head secured to base by mounting part comprising flexible section for simulating neck and instrument section with sensor

摘要

The helmet is placed on top of a model head which in turn is secured to a base part via a mounting part provided with instruments. The mounting part includes a flexible section secured to the base part, which has a rigidity and damping chosen so that it simulates the human neck. The flexible section comprises a soft part made from e.g. rubber. The section of the mounting part secured to the head is used to support the instrumentation comprising a six component sensor for recording force and momentum vectors transmitted to the head.
